This DMCA Policy applies to the Android game mod download website PlayDroid.fun, owned and operated by PlayDroid.
PlayDroid.fun respects the intellectual property rights of others. In the interest of preserving those rights, we implement a policy of removing content in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
What is Covered Under the DMCA?
Under Title 17, Section 512 of United States Code, the DMCA allows copyright holders to submit takedown notices to online service providers like PlayDroid.fun if they feel their work has been infringed upon. This includes circumventing any copyright protection measures. Examples of protected works include:
- Software programs and applications
- Written works, musical compositions, and other audiovisual works
- Architectural drawings, choreography, pictorial, graphic and sculptural works
- Video games and related content created by game developers
Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, PlayDroid.fun will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. We will notify the affected customer(s) of the takedown request by email. Affected customers may submit a counter notice to have the content in question restored after takedown.

Notices lacking any of the above information will not be considered valid DMCA takedown requests. Please send the notice to [insert email] to expedite processing. We aim to remove infringing content within 5 business days of receiving a valid DMCA notice.
Submitting a DMCA Counter Notice to PlayDroid.fun
If you are a PlayDroid.fun user affected by a DMCA takedown request, you have the right to file a counter notice per 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3). A counter notice must contain:
- Your contact information including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- The specific URL of the content that was removed.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was wrongly removed due to mistake or misidentification.
- Your consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court in the district where you live (if you are in the U.S), or your consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court in [Insert State] if you live outside the U.S.
- Your electronic or physical signature.
Counter notices must be sent to [insert email]. Upon receiving a valid counter notice, PlayDroid.fun will promptly forward it to the party who submitted the original DMCA takedown request. The content in question will be restored within 10-14 days unless we receive notice from that party of a filed legal action seeking a court order to restrain the infringing activity.
Consequences of Submitting Fraudulent DMCA Notices
Do not submit DMCA takedown requests or counter notices containing false information. Misrepresenting yourself as the copyright holder or authorized representative constitutes perjury under United States law which can result in legal consequences.
PlayDroid.fun will terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly submit invalid or fraudulent DMCA notices. We reserve the right to forward any counter notices to the appropriate legal authorities for investigation.
Our Repeat Infringer Policy
PlayDroid.fun keeps track of DMCA notices received linked to customer accounts on our website. We maintain a strict repeat infringer policy in compliance with the DMCA safe harbors. Any user account found to be the source of multiple DMCA takedown requests will be terminated.
Mod Creators and Game Developers – Protect Your Work
We strongly encourage mod creators and game developers to protect their creative works. Here are some suggested ways to do so:
Register your copyrights – While not required, registering with the U.S. Copyright Office strengthens your ability to seek damages in infringement lawsuits. Registration must occur before initiating any legal action.
Use a license – Grant permission to mod users to enjoy your work under an end-user license agreement. This will limit what they can legally do with your content.
Implement digital rights management (DRM) and copyright protections into your games and mods. This controls access and prevents illegal distribution.
Speak with an attorney about other ways to enforce your intellectual property rights under the law. They can provide guidance on sending DMCA notices and litigating infringement cases.
